g Buying/selling issue?

8 months ago

Im not sure if im doing something wrong or is it an issue with the mod, but it appears i am have some problems with buying selling items. I cant sell anything with distribution/retail/market services even after doing everything said in the tips. I also cant buy most items automatically though acquisition service.

Black market is working perfectly fine and i can automate some common items like iron/copper ores though acquisition, but trying to buy more complex items like steel or power armor does nothing. i waited like 10 minutes for it to buy 400 steel, and it just didnt. I have around 2 million coins in colony dashboard, so money doesnt seem to be an issue.

Edit: So i was able to buy power armor, but it took like 40 minutes of waiting. Still cant sell items, but ill give it more time. Maybe the amount of time required to sell/buy scales with item's complexity?

For the selling issue I think you need demand. At least that's what the tooltip says but testing rn.

NVM selling doesn't work for me but buying seems to be fine

Items will only be bought if there is enough coin available to fill the entire order. If you try to buy high-end items that cost a lot in bulk you may come up short, even if you have 2 mil.

As for selling items. You have to set the item that should be sold by clicking on the attachment near the front of the building and selecting the item. You can't just place any item in the storage, you have to select which item is sold.

The conditions for buying and selling each day are checked twice every game day, if during the check conditions are not met there will be no buying or selling until the next check. This also means that if the service is not working (because of no energy or no private citizens available) it will not work.

There actually is a bug with selling, noticed this myself too. I have to do some more testing, but it should be fixed in the next update.
